Excerpt from the Book of the Contemporary Hadith Scholar
Ḥāfiẓ Zubair ʿAlī Zaʾī رحمه الله
Nūr al-ʿAynayn fī Ithbāt Rafʿ al-Yadayn ʿInd al-Rukūʿ wa Baʿdahu fī al-Ṣalāh
Translation:
Sayyidunā Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه (the preserver of the Companions, the jurist Imām, our beloved رضي الله عنه) narrated that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would begin the prayer, he would pronounce the takbīr and then raise both his hands up to his shoulders. When he intended to go into rukūʿ, he would do the same, and when he intended to go into sujūd, he would do the same. He would not do so when raising his head from sujūd. And when he stood up after completing two rakʿahs, he would do the same.
References:
It has a supporting witness with al-Dāraquṭnī in al-ʿIlal, as cited in al-Talkhīṣ al-Ḥabīr 1/219, and its narrators are trustworthy.
✔ We have already established that the absence of mention does not necessitate the negation of mention.

Ḥadīth of Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه
عن أبى هريرة قال: كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا افتتح الصلاة كبر ثم جعل يديه حذو منكبيه و إذا ركع فعل مثل ذلك و إذا سجد فعل مثل ذلك ولا يفعله حين يرفع رأسه من السجود وإذا قام من الركعتين فعل مثل ذلكTranslation:

When he intended to go into rukūʿ, he would do the same, and when he intended to go into sujūd, he would do the same. He would not do so when raising his head from sujūd.

Clarification
✔ Ibn Jurayj has explicitly stated hearing (ṣarāḥat al-samāʿ) in this narration.Important Note (Tanbīh)
This chain is weak due to the tadlīs of al-Zuhrī. It has been presented as a supporting narration (shāhid) for the previous reports.Response to an Objection
Some people have transmitted two narrations from Sayyidunā Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه in which there is no mention of rafʿ al-yadayn before and after rukūʿ.
